I never come here anymore. The protocol is great but itโs just not there yet. I live on X as thatโs where the e\acc movement is happening. Follow me @cloud_null if you want. Hope youโre doing well brother.
I had a major breakthrough this week in one of my engineering projects on an issue thatโs been plaguing the environment for weeks.
In hindsight the answer was always right in front of me but I refused to look at it because testing the hypothesis had too high of impact for users. My stubbornness created more work for me in the long run.
This is my note to remind myself for when this happens again or something similar comes up.
People are complaining because they remove relays and lose followers. Itโs because they only interact with those users on that specific relay and when the relay is removed the client no longer detects they are being followed by that person. The person following you is still following you but they want see your post because you are no longer writing to that relayโฆ.. thatโs the gist but clients have a super unique ways of adding additional layers to this.
Be careful once you take the purple pill there is no going back. Iโve only been here 6 days and Iโm already running my own relay. Make sure you check out #plebchain and remember the sats flow freely here.
